The Avalanche came off Friday's 5-1 home victory over the New York Rangers and played for the third time in four nights.

Hejduk capitalized 14 seconds into the game's first power play when he steered rookie Kevin Shattenkirk's centering pass by Lehtonen at 4:05 of the opening period.

With Morrow serving the second part of a double-minor for tripping and unsportsmanlike conduct, Hejduk made it 2-0 at 3:02 of the second period with his seventh goal of the season - redirecting Shattenkirk's setup.

Jones expanded the lead to 3-0 at 5:30 of the second, backhanding a rebound over Lehtonen.

Jones nearly had his second goal of the night a little more than four minutes into the third period when he skated in alone on Lehtonen, but the puck rolled off his stick as he tried to move it to his forehand.

Burish beat Budaj from beyond the right circle at 13:33 of the second, and Morrow's close-range goal on the next shift made it 3-2.

NOTES: Lehtonen was struck in the mask with a slap shot by Shattenkirk at 1:15 of the second period. Lehtonen was briefly stunned, but remained in the game after being attended to by a trainer. ... Lehtonen had the second assist on Burish's goal, his first point for the Stars. ... Dallas had won its first two shootouts this season. Colorado has won both of its tiebreakers.
